Zero to Sixty - WTF?
So what's the huge deal about zero to 60 times? Seems to be the primary criteria these days...for both gas and electric cars. Like, cutting two tenths off of 2.6 seconds is a big enough deal to add 75K to a price point? I just don't get this!
On a related note...and pardon my complete lack of knowledge here - but for the electrics...why can't somewhat less powerful motors be used - get those zero to sixty times back out to around six or so seconds. Heck, get a manual (or auto) tranny back in there too! Stands to reason that this would increase range quite a bit, and/or facilitate quicker charging. Make sense?
In the meantime...I'll continue to be happily/nimbly carving up the twisties in my humble 944!
